Sorry to follow up on myself. I have now checked a dictionary for the
standard usage in HK. So I am filling in some details.

The placement of the emphasis mark in HK depends on the writing
direction. The current standard placement is "before" (left) when
vertical, and "after" (below) when horizontal. (p. 436, Oxford
Beginner's Chinese Dictionary)
